If you should know anything about me, it’s that I love a good, festive cocktail. Well, that and the fact that my head has the cirumference of a prize-winning watermelon and that I know all the words to the theme song to “Joanie Loves Chachi” and will gladly sing it upon request, but it’s true that […]

In honor of America’s birthday today, I’ve decided to share a new favorite recipe for nachos. Because nothing says, “Happy Birthday, America!” like food from south of the border. But seriously. I discovered this recipe from the latest People magazine which featured the Today Show hosts’s favorite Fourth of July recipes. And apparently, Willie Geist […]

If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, you know how I feel about cooking. If you haven’t, I’ll give you a hint: I hate it. It never fails to make me chuckle, then, to realize that my two most pinned pins on Pinterest (say that 10x fast) lead people to posts where I shared a […]

If you know one thing about me after following along for the past year and a half (10 of you) or the past few months (all the rest of you), it’s that I abhor cooking. Sure, I do it, but only under great duress and usually after bitching about it for the previous 5 or […]

Full disclosure. It’s not Friday. Well, it is Friday but not right now. I mean, of course it’s Friday right now, but just not while I’m writing this. It’s actually Thursday and I’m sitting in the Toyota dealership waiting for my oil to be changed. The oil in my car to be changed (although I […]
